I'd be interested to know as I will be replacing mine with a K&N drop in filter

I'm discussing a remap of mine with Angel tuning and asked if it was worth doing an air filter at the same time. Here was their response....

Its not really in all honesty, its a lot of money and its a real pain in the ass for you to remove and clean every 12k! The original airbox design is so appalling that no matter what you put in it, it isnt going to be very good!

Paid for the Tax, had a new anti roll bar link fitted and a new parking sensor. I think I have got this car selling business wrong, dont people usually let bits go wrong then sell them not fix it and sell it?

Since I now have two cracked rear springs and the arches are almost resting on the tyres --- I decided to upgrade rather than replace standard springs. WHY ? --- well standard springs come in at several differennt prices , anything from £70 to over £100 each !!!! So I've bitten the bullet and ordered BILSTEIN B6 shocks plus EIBACH PROKIT springs all round . Mad ??? possibly , but when the Eibach springs are 135 euros for 4 , it makes you start looking at shocks as well . They are 129 euros front and 125 euros rear -- multiply that lot by 0.86 for sterling and the upgrade looks a bargain , at least when they come from ALFISTI.NET
Not ordered but on the cards are Powerflex adjustable top bushes for the front plus the huge lower rear bush , to replace that stupid sloppy rubber one which makes any adjustment to the front end a total waste of time.Even a new one moves around like a jelly !

Its Shiny again, although I have managed to pick up some alloy damage from stones. one impact has left a 1mm deep by 8mm radius hole in the inner edge of the rim! looks like a bullet hole! Not bothering with a refurb (again) this year, will leave it as it is too expensive to keep doing.

Exorcised some demons out of it blasting trough the motorway at medium 125mph. Then sat looking at it whit sadness. Dam ticking noise wont go away. Changed the oil on saturday, went ok for 2.5 days then tha bloody sound came back! Oh, i'm so mad at it i could go and disassemble it on the garage usin a jack hammer and a sledge!

I did mine from them a couple of weeks back. Eibach Springs + Bilstein Shocks, £550 ish delivered. local indie fitted for £300, cheap upgrade for a complete transformation in ride and handling!

My quote was close to that but by the time they got springs in stock and ready to post , the total with delivery was £597 --- exchange rate I suppose , unless the new delivery of springs had gone up. Having said that , the delivery was only 17 euros !!!
What I found amazing was that the kit was only sent out of their depot at 5-20pm Tuesday and it arrived this morning at 9-00am !!! 2.5 days .
Cambelt plus all other moving bearings and w. pump was done yesterday . Started at 9-30am , was working on another car's brakes as well but was all ready to collect at 1-00pm --- great service from Paul at A FOR ALFA. Just waiting for him to fit me in for the suspension kit fitting.
